re: #68 Charles

Why did you leave out this link, that shows very clearly that she DID say she wanted to teach creationism?

[Link: littlegreenfootballs.com…]

It’s a fact. Sarah Palin changed her position when she was criticized for wanting to teach creationism.

You write: “So I was disturbed to learn of Sarah Palin’s apparent support for creationism. However, as I posted in a comment earlier, she does not appear to be the fanatical type who wants to force or sneak the teaching of creationism into public school science classrooms.”
and:
“Looks like Palin made an off-the-cuff statement during a debate on a hot topic, didn’t really expect the criticism she’d get, and then softened her position considerably in a follow-up interview. But to quote just the first part of her statements on creationism and ignore the second is misleading; because in the clarification she’s describing a position that doesn’t cause me (a staunch anti-creationist) any discomfort.”
